Let mystery have its place in you; do not be always turning up your whole soil with the plowshare of self-examination, but leave a little fallow corner in your heart ready for any seed the winds may bring, and reserve a nook of shadow for the passing bird; keep a place in your heart for the unexpected guests, an altar for an unknown God.

I agree with each of these. Mark for that single step that opens up the world, and Roderick for still not being certain what I know … Except that the 3D is so limiting, and to believe that our senses tell us the truth is naive to say the least, and a lie to be truthful about it …

Hi. I loved the Rod MacIver poem in this post and the other MacIver poems you have shared in the past. Could you possibly share the source of this poem so I might find the book to read more of his work? Thank you. Dave

Rod MacIver is the creator of Heron Dance. He is an artist, activist, naturalist, poet. And so much more. I have been following his work for many years. http://www.herondance.org- I have collected most of his books, and have some of his art in my home. This particular poem came from his daily email, A Pause for Beauty. You can sign up for it on his site. “The Journey Itself is Home” is a beautiful collection. You can order notecards, books, etc on his site. So glad his work resonates with you….blessings to you….
